Their clinical findings were analyzed retrospectively, and the results were as follows; 1) They were 5 boys and 6... |
We have studied morphological alterations in urinary RBC as a tool for the differential diagnosis of hematuria in children, that is, differentiation of glomerular bleeding from nonglomerular bleeding, and the results were as follows; 1) Urinary RBCs from glomerular diseases showed higher rate of dysmorphism (84.3±16.8%), and those from nonglomerular diseases did lower one (15.2 ±12.9%) with phase contrast microscopic examination. 2) Simple light microscopic examination after Wright’s... |
PRA’s in peripheral vein, both renal veins, and inferior vena cava (IVC) were measured in 25 normotensive children without renal disease undergoing cardiac catheterization for their underlying cyanotic congenital heart disease. And we presented the results as reference values/ranges of PRA in children. 1) There was no significant difference in PRA between both side renal veins at any absolute PRA levels with a mean ratio (RT/LT)... |
There had been total 21 children with end stage renal disease in whom hemodialysis was done in the pediatric dialysis unit of Seoul National University Children’s Hospital during the period from 1986. 3. 31 to 1987. 11. 30. And we took a retrospective review of their clinical data, and the results were as follows 1) Primary glomerular disease, H enoch-Schdnlein nephritis, and reflux nephropathy were... |
To assess the clinical significance of histopathologic variants of minimal change nephrotic syn- drome (MCNS) by light microscopic findings, 148 biopsy proven MCNS patients, who were admitted to Seoul National University Hospital between the period from January 1976 to December 1986, were analyzed according to clinical findings, steroid responsiveness, and follow up status in relation to the pathologic variants. The followings are summary and conclusion. 1) Significantly... |
To elucidate the clinical characteristics of childhood onset systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), we carried out a retrospective review on medical records of sixteen patients who were diagnosed as SLE on the base of “the 1982 revised criteria for the SLE” (by American Rheumatism Association) at the Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Children’s Hospital between January 1976 and July 1986. The results were summarized... |
We analyzed clinical findings, pathological findings and clinico-pathological correlations in 55 children with idiopathic IgA nephropathy confirmed immunopathologically, and the results were as follows; 1) The mean age at onset was 9.65±2.45 years with relatively even distribution in school ages and males outnumbered females by 1.75 : 1. 2) The main mode of presentation was typical... |
Thirty episodes of primary peritonitis in 22 children with nephrotic syndrome who had admitted in the Department of Pediatrics, Seoul National University Hospital from Jan. *81 to Sept. ’84 were studied, and the results were as follows; 1)Among 22 children, male to female ratio was 16 : 6 and the mean age at the onset of peritonitis was 7.80 years (average... |
PRA in peripheral vein, both renal veins and both inferior vena cava (JVC) both proximal and distal to the drainage of the both renal veins was measured in 80 normotensive children with no renal disease undergoing routine cardiac catheterization due to congenital heart disease which did not cause significant hemodynamic changes in most of them. And we presented the results... |
A heart disease screening program was performed on 15,685 primary school children in Seoul City from the first to sixth grade to estimate the prevalence of heart diseases. Among the 15,685 children examined, 45 were confirmed to have heart disease (2.9/1,000) Out of the 45 children, 38 had congenital heart disease(2.4/1,000) and 7 had rheumatic heart disease(0.4/1,000) and the ratio... |
Among total 452 children with percutaneous kidney needle biopsy due to renal disease in the Department of Pediatric, Seoul National University Hospital, from Jan. 75 to Nov.84, 20(4.4%) were confirmed as embranoproliferative glomerulonephritis(MPGN) histopathologically. And 4 out of these 20 were excluded from this report because of association of systemic disease. A review of clinical and pathological findings of the... |
We experienced three children with the biopsy proven minimal change nephrotic syndrome who had failed to respond to prednisolone, 60 mg/m2/d for 4 to 9 weeks due to concomittent administration of rifampin. Because rifampin is a known enzyme inducer of the liver like phenobarbital and dilantin which can increase the clearance of the other drugs such as steroid etc., rifampin were... |
Statistical analysis of inpatients of Seoul National University Hospital from 1972 to 1981 who had renal diseases was performed with respect to their disease pattern, annual incidence of each disease, and age distribution. From 1972 to 1981 renal disease was found in 831 patients among 11,226 total inpatients (7.4%). Male to female ratio of renal disease patients was 2.2 to 1, while male to... |
Clinical data of 33 children with juvenile diabetes mellitus who were admitted to the Seoul National University Hospital from Jan. 1967 to Feb. 1983 were analyzed retrospectively. Male to female ratio was 10:23, the mean age at onset was 6 10/12 years, and there was considerable seasonal variation with peaks in late winter and spring. Polyuria and polydipsia were noted in all cases as... |
Data obtained from 59 hospitalized patients with minimal change nephrotic syndrome which was confirmed by kidney biopsy, were analyzed for serum albumin, serum lipids, 24hr urine protein, creatinine clearanee, HDL-eholesterol. In 38 of the patients, lipoproteins were analyzed. The following results were obained 1. Serum phospolipid (PL) was increased whenever serum total cholesterol (TC) was increased but to a lesser degree. The ratio of TC/PL were... |
Total anomalous pulmonary venous connection (TAPVC) is a rare congenital defect in which all the pulmonary veins are connected to the right atrium or its tributary veins. Without surgical intervention, most patients with TAP VC have grave prognosis, with cardiac failure and death in infancy. But owing to the advances of surgical technique and postoperative care, complete correction has been accomplished with good results. Sixteen... |
Follow-up study of fifty two children with nephrome who had once admitted to the pediatric ward of S.N.U.H were presented with regards to response to initial steroid therapy, relapsing patterns, and factors affecting prognosis. All patients were followed up for more than 5 years and the mean period of follow-up was 7 7/12 years, and in two patients, follow-up for... |
The authors report a case of chylous ascites in a two month old boy with massive ascites. He was managed with repeated therapeutic paracentesis and skimmed milk feeding. A marked improvement was resulted in clinical symptoms and laboratory findings at the time of discharge to be followed-up at the outpatient service. A brief review of literatures is included |
